3D Printer Project Request

3D Printer Project Request

The library is happy to offer patrons the ability to submit projects to be printed on the library’s 3D printer. The 3D Printer can create a physical object based on a design supplied as a digital file. These can be designs you’ve created yourself, or designs you’ve obtained from another source and have permission to use.

MCPL patrons can use the form below to submit a request that a project be printed on the library’s 3D printer, a Makerbot Replicator. Once you submit it, a library staff member will be in touch with you to arrange for you to send us the design file for the project you’d like to print. Once it is determined that the project to be printed does not violate the library’s 3D_Printing_Policy, your project will go into the queue to be printed. Once it is completed, a staff member will let you know it is available at the library to be picked up.

What file formats can be used with the 3D printer?

The printer can create objects based on designs in the following formats:Wavefront obj (.obj)ACSII stl (.stl)Binary stl (.stl)Thing (.thing)
